[EVO Shift 4G General] sublime1184:
Yeah, cust svc is really good so far. I've only been with Sprint for a little more than a month and called them three times, but they've been great. I'm in the Chicagoland area (on the border of Chicago) and service has been great. I definately agree with 4G being hard to get indoors but I don't need it enough to even want to use it. Plus I have wifi everywhere at my usual locations. My texts usually go through right away and I don't get calls not going through, unlike I did with T-Mobile.
[EVO Shift 4G General] adamr240:
The only problem I have is how damn slow the 3g is around here.

EVO Shift and XDA app
[EVO Shift 4G General] tarsus:
I live in the Washington DC area and I have great coverage for 3g. I usually can get a 4g signal outside but, like others, I have noticed that 4g doesn't penetrate buildings well. I like customer service for the most part.
[EVO Shift 4G General] DWake014:
Yeah im in the charlotte area so i have 4g and its pretty quick but the 3g speeds in this area arent that great. There are a ton of people with sprint in this area bc its cheaper than verizon and att blows, not sure if an area can be over saturated with so many people pulling from sprints data service but i wouldnt be surprised.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ldominguez1986:
It's nice to hear that customer service is good because all I have been reading is that sprint has terrible customer service. As far as 4g, My tmobile G2 hardly gets 4g inside my house but that is why I use wifi. How is call quality in buildings?
[EVO Shift 4G General] ttown:
Sprint's customer service has improved dramatically in the last year. They went from last to 1st or 2nd.

We just found out someone stole our phone information and started making calls out of the country. Sprint has been really good so far in handling this. I have to call them again tomorrow regarding our bill. I will report back to see how easy they take the charges off.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ldominguez1986:
sorry to hear that buddy. Hope everything works out well
[EVO Shift 4G General] edgemaster191:
I have had sprint for a year and a half and so far no complaints.

Service is reliable virtually everywhere i have been (there are a few spotty areas but you find that with any carrier)

Customer service has been great, luckily i have only had to call once or twice and it's never been because of something major.

my only complaint is their 3G has not been the fastest thing in the world. it's functional and reliable, just not crazy fast.

On a good day at work i can hit between 800kb/s and 1mb/s and it's fairly consistent, when i go to Boston or even near by cities it's about the same and this is across 4 devices (blackberry tour, palm pre, HTC Evo, Evo Shift) on my CR-48 netbook with a verizon data card i average 2mb/s and on good days i get almost 3mb/s

on the flip side, data is reliable, i've never had an issue connecting to the data network.

At the end of the day, i'm a happy customer :) phone calls work, texts work, data works and i haven't had any issues with service, billing, etc.
[EVO Shift 4G General] goletaal:
I'm in the Seattle area. 3G coverage is great, 4G is spotty as others have said, but fast where you can get it.

I sometimes drop to 1 bar of 3G in my house, but it never drops. I average about 500kbps up and down at home. I've gotten pretty consistently 800k-1Mbps down, 500-700k up around my area.

Although Sprint's 4G map says I should have "in building" 4G coverage both at work and at home I get nothing in my house or my office. Step outside and I get a bar or two and maybe 3Mbps down, 500k up. In better coverage areas I've gotten 8Mbps down, and over 1Mbps up. What I'm getting at is 4G seems to be a lot more spotty than their coverage map indicates, but I understand it will likely expand and it doesn't bother me too much.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bobbysteels216:
I made the switch from T-Mo to Sprint and there is no way I'm going back. Sprint's customer service is the best that I've ever experienced and totally pwns T-Mo's. The 3G speeds are average but consistent. The 4G speeds are fairly fast if you're in the right area; it won't work worth a dam in most buildings however.
[EVO Shift 4G General] goletaal:
What's weird is I had Clear internet service for a week or so to try it out and I got great signal and pretty solid 6-8Mbps download speeds -- no hiccups whatsoever. I ended up opting for Fios because... well come on, do I have to explain. Anyway, I was under the impression that Clearwire and Sprint shared Wimax towers. Look at their coverage maps and they're almost identical. Maybe the Wimax radios in the phones are somehow less sensitive than the Clear modems?
[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:
You can adjust your wimax to be more "sensitive"
[EVO Shift 4G General] AnalogXDA:
I'm not sure sensitive is the word...the adjustment will make it accept and cling to a weaker signal than it would otherwise, but it doesn't actually increase the radio's sensitivity in such a way as to make the signal (relatively) stronger.

If you ever used to mess around with police scanners or ham radio or the like, think of it as opening up the squelch a little bit (i.e., turning the squelch knob counterclockwise)...it will make the radio stop scanning and try to receive weaker transmissions, but it doesn't necessarily prevent them from sounding all staticky and useless. Same principle here, if I'm not mistaken. :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] goletaal:
Yeah, I've got it set at -110. It helped noticeably, but it's still not that great. The tower is less than a mile away from my house too. :(
[EVO Shift 4G General] ustyrant:
I live in West Michigan, and the service here is actually not that good lately. Sprint says some towers are down in my area, and they have been issuing partial refunds for service interruptions. I guess that's the best case scenario if your going to have bad service...
[EVO Shift 4G General] Rob_ec:
My 4g connection is amazing!! Except when it disconnects ..My 3g connection is shady at times very very slow I can't even view streaming videos or music like pandora. I'm in tx
[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
Just a quick question, how do you adjust the sensitivity? I'm currently running CM7 nightly 31 and can't seem to find the option for it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:
You need to be on a sense based from to enter dialer codes...for adjusting wimax its ##DATA# ##3282#

I had the fresh evo rom and went I switched to the cyanogenmod 7 rom (the latest one) I did a backup of my old rom and everything but when I installed it I didn't wipe the cache and data, and phone is stuck on the cyanogen loading screen...tryed taking out the battery and turning it back on multiple times but it just won't get past the loading screen the arrow keeps going around in circles... when I try to hold down the power and up volume key my phone just vibrates 3 times and nothing happens, is there any other way to fix my phone or factory restart it or anything please I'm in much need of help guys
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebel29535:
im pretty sure you need to wipe the cache and data since your switching from a sense to asop rom. thats what caused me to have a boot loop when I switched. try popping the battery out and putting it back in. hold the vol down button and power on and restore to your nandroid backup you made, if you try flashing cyanogenmod again, be sure to wipe data and cache
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
I hope you've figured it out by now, but if not, you need to hold power and Vol Down to enter bootloader, Power and vol Up won't do it.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strapped365:

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmptyCloud:
Also do you have CWM 3 (hint:has the orange on black text)? Because you can't flash Cyanogenmod 7 on CWM 2.x as it doesn't support formatting partitions in Ext4

[Droid X General] jazaddict:
For Pete's fookin sake.....

I mussa flashed 20 friggin ROMS to my WinMo Omnia....and I CAN'T EVEN GET THE DAMN DROID TO BE RECOGNIZED ON MY PC.

For cripes sake :(

So I loaded the USB driver.....on my XP PC. Plug in the droid. "USB Device Not Recognized...." OK....google....read....read...read... ah HAH...I'd set the USB Debugging mode to ON so I could root. Need to shut that back off. Done.

"USB Device Not Recognized...." .... again. Really? REALLY???? So....here I sit....unable to connect my REALLY nice Droid to my GODDAAMMMMMM PC :mad:

So...would somebody hold my hand here? Lill' help?
[Droid X General] meshdub:
Have you tried switching different modes? Charge only, mass storage, pc mode. One of them might work.
[Droid X General] jazaddict:
Well I tried Usb and pc I wasn't sure about the other 2. When I was reinstalling the driver I noticed 1 choice was" remove", but I just picked repair. I'll try removing it tonight and then reinstalling it. I was hoping somebody might have an alternate driver to suggest
[Droid X General] jazaddict:
It ain't working worth a shiite. Ugraded to the moto 4.90 driver ...nada.

At least now the pc recognizes my device,and I geta drive in my explorer but I see no data. My wifes fone hook s up to her laptop &says its dismounting the sd card...im not getting that here on my pc ....its like the phone won't let go ofthe sd er sumpin ...very annoying.
[Droid X General] Jibboman:
when you plug your phone into your computer, look at the notifications bar on your phone. Does it say that usb is connected?
[Droid X General] veeeee:
Sometimes it helps to switch the USB port you plug in to.
[Droid X General] meshdub:
So to see the data, are you switching the phone to Mass Storage mode? I know it's an obvious question, but just wanted to make sure...

Also some people had success hooking up to different computers.
[Droid X General] jazaddict:
I thank u all very much. My phone hooks right up to my wifes W7 laptop but no joy in any port, any storage setting, any gender of dead chicken being swung overhead while chanting in various states of undress. I did get it to rain,so that's sumpin. I quit.

I'm not gonna theme because I don't want to load the pc stuff on her computer (and listen to her complain that I'm "using up her memory"....u married guys recognize the die-on-this-hill avoidance) for the off-chance that things don't go right &I need to sob or abp or whatever that whole thing is.

I'm rooted,deodexed,de-bloatwared, and happy as a pig in **** with stock.

I might theme down the line if I can figure out how much crap id have to reload ... I'm frequently incapasitated by laziness and am tired of longpress deleting and longpress adding ...plus...I just bought power amp & don't wanna lose my license.

But its still fookin annoying that the goddam thing won't load on my desktop.

Peace out.
[Droid X General] Jibboman:
before you quit, could you try one simple thing?

have the phone on when you plug it into your computer. Once done, go to the notifications bar. If the phone recognizes the computer, it should say "USB connection".

Click USB connection and make sure its not on charge only.

To access the sd card, click on USB Mass Storage.
[Droid X General] jazaddict:
Man that's a good thing you and I go back so far. Is it was anybody else I'd say no forget it. I can tell you that the phone says usb connection. And I'm trying to find the sd card on the windows explorer

... are you saying there is somewhere else is the windows environment to click that I can determine if it's on mass storage or charge only?
[Droid X General] jazaddict:
Ok, here da deal:

Phone sees PC

Phone in mass storage mode

PC say "looky dere, m810,or sumtynes motorola.bla bla

Error occurred during bla bla

Bottom line: no removable drive in win explorer.

On the wifey's laptop it asks to scan, then poof! Dialog to do 5 or 6 things includir browse.

So thx y'all, but I'm satisfied for now with root,dedodex,de-bloated, running ADW Launch on stock.

Seriously, this is everything I always wanted my winmo to do...32gb sd & running pwr amp & I've retired my ipod micro (cuz the power cord gave up the ghost & ****in Apple wont let it work without their proprietary $20 cord ....on a $39 unit that holds 1gb? Heh..fuk dat....I digress. ) ...bookmarks to my cyber-haunts in short cuts that I can TALK THREADS INTO! Nah, im gold baby.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] telchar16y:
I would like to re-skin the stock android keyboard using the resources in the Honeycomb LatinIME.apk. So far I have pulled via adb keyboards from both cm7 and Honeycomb preview v04. The problem that I am running into is that by all appearances the Honeycomb keyboard uses the same png resources as the stock cm7 keyboard. I assume that I am simply making a mistake pulling the keyboard apk from Honeycomb. If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be appreciated.

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Earthbrain:
It is probably due to limited space that the Flyer does not have a slot to insert the pen. They will probably give you a case with the device to hold the pen. However, this would make it a little too bulky to put the device inside a jacket pocket.

So I guess that it would not take long before you misplaced the pen.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] couto607:
If you lose it, you shouldn't own it ;)

I'm sure there will be a case with the flyer which will have a slot for the pen, or the pen will at least have a clip on it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbysteels216:
I would lose it in a month because my kids would do something silly with like let it fall in the couch. My kids like to play with my Android devices and I love them so I can't deny them lol.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Anakha56:
So I am correct in saying that the stylus is not going to slot into the Flyer like say the Touch Diamond? If not that is really big design flaw from HTC. The Diamond has (from what I have seen) the best way to store the stylus via magnets and into the body. Hope they are not expensive, can see myself losing it in and around the house and at work... :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jinvox:
You would think they would make a case for it so you have a slot to hold the pen when your not using it
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bcmobile:
They do. It was mentioned by one of the HTC evangelists at MWC
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jinvox:
What does it look like?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bcmobile:
Don't know, unfortunately. The HTC guy just said something along the lines of

"like those cases over there"

...but they never actually went 'over there' during the interview :)

One of the official folio cases has an external pocket for the pen. Personally I would prefer an internal pen loop.

I got my Htc Incredible replace today and as soon I got it I rooted the phone and I use a custom recovery image to root.. everything went well but when I got the Rom manager from the market and now its asking me to flash a recovery but I dont want to flash to the v3.. I wanna stay with the 2.5 version is there any way I can flash a image with rom manager instead of flashing the new version..

thanks .
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
EDIT: re-read post.

If you rooted with the latest unrevoked, you should be on 2.5 anyway. The latest ROM Manager only works with the 3.x recoveries. So, either don't use rom manager, (Flash stuff manually) or upgrade.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the CWM recoverie are here. http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/

2.5.1.2 here, RM should be able to flash it.

http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-inc.zip

And there's always 2.5.0.5 PB31IMG.zip, via unrevoked forever.

http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/recovery/clockworkmod/PB31IMG.ZIP
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
If you want the older version of CWM to persist, don't update it in rommanager. Note that when flashing stuff, you do it through recovery, not rommanager.

I have the older CWM, rommanager v 3.0.7, works to create backups. Use recovery to flash and restore.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Welp

Personally, I stay away from RomManager. Have never seen something work in RomManager that didn't also work (better) straight out of CWM Recovery.

I am still on 2.5.x.x as well; 3.0.0.5 and 3.0.0.8 seem to cause WAY too much trouble, and there is no clarification from Koush that he is resolving those bugs.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Great Offender:
I would love to see an answer on this. I can go back to 2.5 but...

Some of the newer roms require you to use 3.xx.xx Most say to use 3.0.0.7. I would love to but when I set to this version my phone shows no recovery. Just a black screen. I can still push the buttons and get the actions to work, from memory, but this is not a solution. Is anyone else have the "black screen" issue?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
I think 3.0.0.7 had an SLCD issue. You must have an SLCD Incredible. You might try 3.0.0.8, I believe it works fine with the newer Incredibles.

Hi, anyone knows how to hard reset XT720? as in delete everything back to the factory settings?

I did a few wipes, dalvik cache, but how can I delete the ext2 partition?
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Do you want to remove the ext2 partition or delete all files on it and reformat it?
[Milestone XT720 General] Glen L:
hi basically i want to delete everything and start from scratch.

including the ext2 partition
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I think if you unmount the sdcard & then use the format option on the phone it will reformat everything to 1 fat32 partition (but I'm not 100% sure).
[Milestone XT720 General] Accophox:
Start from scratch, as in phone in original factory condition, software wise?

RSDLite + appropriate firmware bundle for your carrier. There's a guide somewhere on these forums.

Hi All.

I have a Bluetooth keyboard for my Tab, which requires that the stock keyboard is selected. However, I prefer Swiftkey for my on screen keyboard.

Any of you lovely people got any suggestions?

battery is ALOT better without 4G. I came from an EVO and its the same thing...just keep it off and we'll be good. its not necessary to have it on at all times, especially when you're in areas where theres no 4g or on the edge of it and it keeps jumping from 1x-3g-4g. I know the dialing method is going around here but i found a better way...not exactly a "widget" but better than dialing.

Instructions

"1. Download an app from market (it is free) called Any Cut.

2. Once downloaded, run the app and Select New Shortcut.

3. Select Activity.

4. Scroll way down to Phone Info and select it.

5. Rename it to what you want it called and tap OK.

6. A new shortcut will be on your homescreen.

7. Go into the newly created shortcut and scroll down to Set Preffered network type:

For 3G only, select: CDMA auto (PRL)

To go back to 3G/4G select: CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto

Hit the back arrow...
